NATIVE APP PREVIEW
These native features are still in release review. The browser companion supports the smaller workflow described below.
Start with Smart Scan and review storage categories before selecting cleanup candidates.
Review potential duplicates and large files instead of treating every result as disposable.
Move selected files to quarantine and restore them while retained there. Permanent removal cannot be undone; keep an independent backup.
AFTER HOURS / Reclaim / Read-only browser companion
An exhibition folder contains working files, exports, backups, and two notes with the same name. Compare their actual content before making a decision.

Seven original demonstration files total about 6.3 MB. The review lists their names and sizes and finds two groups of identical content.

A PDF pair and an audio pair match despite their different filenames. Together, the extra copies account for 3,277,228 bytes; no files were deleted.

Searching Field-Notes isolates the working PDF and its final-copy counterpart while preserving the full review.

Two 67-byte notes.txt files have different contents and are not grouped as duplicates. The downloaded JSON report records the comparison results.
Actual read-only browser review of disposable fixtures. The downloaded report was parsed against all seven original names, sizes and available hashes. Every source hash remained unchanged. This is selected-file review, not a system scan or a claim of reclaimed disk space.
Read-only browser companion / WORKFLOW GALLERY
Real sessions. Four useful moments. A closer look at what you can make.

Inspect the sizes and names of files you choose.

Review copies matched by file content, using original test files.

Search the selected files to focus on a smaller set.

Export the review as a report. The source files remain unchanged.
The browser companion only reviews selected files. It cannot scan the whole Mac, clear caches, quarantine or delete files. Actual browser captures · September 29, 2026.
YOUR BROWSER EDITION
Inspect files you select, find identical copies by content, sort large files, and export a review report.
This read-only browser companion cannot scan your whole Mac, clear caches, quarantine or delete files. It is a scoped testing experience for file review, not the native cleanup engine.
